With the ever increasing population in most developing countries and the corresponding increase in demands and need for infrastructural development, there is an urgent need to focus attention on low-cost alternative construction materials. lignocellulosic fibers from green coconut fruit were dried well in sunlight. after this drying process, mixture of epoxy resin and hardener are added to the alkali treated fiber for binding purpose. then it is impacted and compressed between two gi sheets, in order to obtain the shape of the roofing sheets, for 12 hours. after 12 hours of drying, it is then subjected to various tests such as tensile test, flexural test, impact test, compression test, and hardness test. the results are tabulated in order to compare it with gi sheet and asbestos cement sheet. this coconut coir roof sheet can replace the former roofing sheets because of its durability, high strength, heat resistivity and low cost. the choose of this alternative is based on economic interest because it is very cheap, available with good mechanical properties, and also based on environmental interest because it is eco friendly. thus this project addresses the characterization and performance of the coconut coir roofing sheet.
